Joyce Records!

 Joyce Records 

Bob Roark - Joyce Records - June 1955

Louisville, Kentucky 

Side A - Have A Talk With Your Heart

Side B - Love Commandments.

Bob and his string band really cook up a pretty good mid tempo slice of Country with this second release on Joyce! Have A Talk With Your Heart is pretty standard Country fair! but Bob has a top voice that makes it worth the while! decent back up unknown band even though the piano player does hit a bum note on the second solo! plenty of great fiddle and sweet Steel just about elevates this record above the standard string band in the mid 50's! 

Interesting note the 45 release of the same record corrects his surname as 'Rourk' and NOT Roark! as seen on the 78 version!
